Housing

There are numerous housing options for interns and residents at the Hospital
of the University of Pennsylvania.

University City - The University City area offers many apartments
and houses for rent at very reasonable prices.

Center City, Art Museum - Some residents choose to live in the
Center City or Art Museum areas. These areas provide more cultural diversions
and all of the advantages of city living, but less of the collegiate atmosphere
than is found in the University City area.

Suburbs - Many residents, particularly those with families, prefer to
live in the suburbs and excellent residential areas are easily available from the
medical center.

PA Suburbs - Manayunk and Roxborough, near the Schuykill River, the Drexel
Hill area and Havertown have been popular.

NJ Suburbs - The New Jersey suburbs are also convenient and inexpensive
and have outstanding public school systems.

*All these areas are within a one-half hour drive of HUP.

Homes may be found through realtors or by checking out bulletin boards at UPMC
for flyers put up by finishing residents who wish to sell their own homes.
While some choose to buy on beginning internship, some rent that year and learn
the area before purchasing a home. There are many housing options available and
residents in the program are valuable sources of information.

The University of Pennsylvania's Office of Off-Campus Living provides services
regarding information about available housing, ratings from prior tenants,
information on how to find an apartment, and how to read a lease. The Office of
Off-Campus Living is located at:
